The Location docs in 2.0 say almost exactly that: "<Location> sections operate completely outside the filesystem. This has several consequences. Most importantly, <Location> directives should not be used to control access to filesystem locations. Since several different URLs may map to the same filesystem location, such access controls may by circumvented. When to use <Location> Use <Location> to apply directives to content that lives outside the filesystem. For content that lives in the filesystem, use <Directory> and <Files>. An exception is <Location />, which is an easy way to apply a configuration to the entire server." Adding a link from there to sections.html might be a good idea, however. Also, I'm not happy anymore with how I organized sections.html. Having the discussion of <IfModule> and <IfDefine> right at the top puts way to much emphasis on these silly sections. Improvements welcome. Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
